Question

What is the best multi vitamin for men in their 40s?

Answer 1

No vitamins: Vitamins are not needed at any age unless you have a proven deficiency. It's been shown in a recent study that patients taking vitamins "just because" were at a higher risk for dying. Your food should provide you with enough vitamins and if you have any diseases that are causing vitamin deficiency, they need to be identified and treated accordingly.

Answer 2

Shouldn't need it: If you have a reasonable diet, especially if you are only 25 years old, taking vitamin supplements is not really all that helpful. It is much more beneficial to obtain those vitamins via good eating habits, because many of the foods that contain the vitamins have other protective properties (fiber, anti-oxidants, etc.) that will not be obtained by taking a pill.

Answer 3

Yes: Building healthy bones & teeth. While your bones provide an abundant supply of calcium for your developing baby, you can insure you're not depleted of this vital mineral by taking 1500mg of calcium and 400 units of vitamin d daily while pregnant and breastfeeding too. While many prenatal vitamins contain the later, they often don't have enough calcium. Dairy products or a supplement will suffice.

Answer 4

Yes: It is not only safe, it is essential, unless your dietary intake meets your provider's recommendations.

Answer 5

Genetics: Every woman is different so every pattern of weight gain (and every pregnancy) will be different. As a general rule of thumb, a normal weight woman should gain between 25-35 pounds while pregnant. This often comes as a spurt in the middle of the pregnancy. Overweight women should gain less and underweight women more. Good nutrition and exercise are recommended for all pregnant women.

Answer 6

Emotions and hunger: Pregnancy does increase hunger cravings. The body is simply wired that way. Emotions can play a part for sure. Depression an stress ten to trigger comfort foods. Usually harder to exercise. Always address your eating patterns with your OB doctor.

Answer 7

No: Abdominal crunches are an excellent way to build muscles that support the back. It is also important to strengthen the muscles of the back itself, and together, they are best way to prevent low back pain.

Answer 8

No: Back pain comes from many causes including, but not limited to musculoskeletal spasm, degenerative disc disease, arthritis/spondylosis, trauma, and strain/sprain. Abdominal crunches done the right way can strengthen your core and reduce your risk for back injury. Done the wrong way abdominal crunches can actually injury you and lead to back pain.

Answer 9

Not exactly: Core strengthening including gentle crunches can be helpful in preventing low back pain. However, these need to be performed correctly and should be combined with an entire regimen designed to strengthen the core musculature.

Answer 10

Core muscles!Stretch: Core muscle strengthening is useful, but rand corp. Study found that of all physiotherapeutic activities receommended in studies, no conclusion regarding exercises could be reached. I find gravity inversion devices useful for most patients.

Answer 11

No: I always ask patients: what activity do you perform that requires you to be strong going forward? None. You need to be strong coming up, so focus on hip strengthening and your paraspinals. The core concept is ok, but you need to realize it actually encompasses strength and coordination from your feet through your neck.

Answer 12

Hard to tell: Neck pain and joint pain is just as common in eds as in many other non-eds causes. As far as joint surgeries go, I am not sure what kind of surgeries you had and for what reason. Definitely, eds patients have multiple joint problems (hypermobility, fractures, laxaty etc.) that makes them prone to trauma etc.

Answer 13

Can be: There are several websites that discuss eds. This site appears to be a good one: http://www.Medicinenet.Com/ehlers-danlos_syndrome/article.Htm get the facts on ehlers-danlos syndrome (eds) symptoms (joint hypermobility, skin laxity), causes (inherited), diagnosis, types, treatment and research.

Answer 14

Up to 1 year's worth: Herceptin (trastuzumab) can be given together with initial chemotherapy for the first 4-6 months then subsequently by itself for a total of 1 year. If chemotherapy was given first without Herceptin (trastuzumab) then Herceptin (trastuzumab) can be given for a full year by itself. The usual cycle runs every 3 weeks (17-18 cycles in one full year).

Answer 15

1 year: The standard of care for stage 1, 2, 3 breast cancer is a year of herceptin (trastuzumab). It is probably the most important drug in her 2 positive breast cancer!
